Virtual Reality Treatment
This Virtual Reality app for cardboard (and other mobile VR glasses) is designed to help people suffering from Arachnophobia (intense fear of spiders) fight their fears.
Participants enter a virtual office in which they are exposed to small spiders. At least, at first.
This app takes place in a virtual office and guides you through different scenes in which spiders occur in an increasing intensity. Just as in a therapeutic setting you start with a small spider in a jar at a distance. You have control over when the next scene starts.
The design for this app is based on on modern therapy techniques and in was produced in close collaboration with psychologists.
